Not So Dairy-Free
The popular “dairy-free” cheese has been pulled from shelves at Coles and IGA stores nationwide. The product, BioCheese Cheddar Shred, was found to contain milk despite being labelled as non-dairy.
Why It Matters
Milk is a common allergen, and consuming it can trigger reactions ranging from mild symptoms to serious health issues. Authorities warn that anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance should avoid the product entirely.
What To Look For
The recall applies to 200g packs of BioCheese Cheddar Shred with a best-before date of 27 August 2026. The plant-based product is typically made from coconut oil and marketed as a dairy alternative.
What You Should Do
Customers are urged not to eat the cheese and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you’ve already consumed it and feel unwell, seek medical advice.
